Neurological Diseases
World-renowned neurosurgeons that perform tens of thousands of surgeries every year are part of our partner network. These specialised surgeons deal with brain tumours and vascular microsurgery using minimally invasive stereotactic neurosurgical procedures and precise targeting by neuro-navigation. In fact, for specific cases, the Gamma Knife technology allows the targeted administration of radiation in a single session on brain lesions that would be otherwise inoperable, including arteriovenous malformations, meningiomas and remnants from previous surgeries.
In the post-operative period, the patient is followed clinically both from a neurological, neuropsychological and psycho-oncological point of view. Various programs of cognitive neuro-rehabilitation and habit reversal training are also available.
Each therapy is uniquely adapted to each patient, employing a distinctive methodology depending on the individual stage and condition: introductory, intensive, and maintenance phases, including both conventional and robotic approaches.
The treatment sessions are engaging, facilitated by a leading therapist, and incorporate interactive games designed to motivate patients to actively participate in the rehabilitation process. The rehabilitative programs are personalized, for adults or children based on their specific medical condition, clinical presentation, diagnosis, physical condition, and desired final goals. The innovative nature of this approach ensures a quicker and more effective recovery compared to standard therapy methods.
With a network of reference centers for robotic neurorehabilitation, we use advanced robotic systems. Unlike traditional physical therapy, robotics ensures a continuous and effective neurorehabilitation process by targeting the brain’s neuroplasticity. This approach prevents setbacks and promotes lasting recovery, as it focuses on the brain rather than just the extremities. This accelerates recovery, encourages brain activity, and contributes to the patient’s overall well-being, supporting a faster return to an independent life.
Our specialists have at their disposal more than 20 state-of-the-art robotic devices supporting the recovery process, such as the LOKOMAT re-education and gait learning system with a pediatric module, standing table with stepping function and functional electrostimulation Erigo Pro, EKSO Exoskeleton, Indiba activ, Salus Talent, Galileo vibration platform, transcranial brain stimulation tDCS, brain micropolarization, or neural interfaces devices, to activate paralyzed muscles.
Motor and cognitive rehabilitation, supported by virtual reality, is a medical innovation designed for patients of all ages dealing with neurological disorders like stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, and autism. This immersive technology creates a ‘sensory room’ providing patients with a realistic and stimulating environment. By engaging patients in these scenarios, the rehabilitation process becomes more effective. The system allows real-time editing of exercises to cater to the specific abilities of each patient, making the experience personalized and adaptive.
Early initiation of neurological physiotherapy is crucial for optimal recovery. Our specialist employ a variety of principles, including the Bobath Concept, Carr and Shepherd Concept, Brunnstrom Approach, Conductive Education, and functional rehabilitation, tailored to individual needs, symptoms, and goals. The physical therapy offerings include radial shock wave therapy, local cryotherapy, Biotron lamp irradiation, local ultrasound therapy, phonophoresis (ultrasound with transcutaneous drug application), muscle electrostimulation with TENS currents, as well as various electrotherapy techniques such as Diadynamics, Galvanisation, and Iontophoresis. Laser therapy with a scanner is also among the modern modalities we employ to ensure comprehensive and effective rehabilitation.
The Kinesitherapy serves to enhance motor coordination and overall well-being. The diagnostics include motor coordination assessments on a stabilometric platform and physiotherapy diagnostics. Dynamic Kinesiology Taping, individual active exercises, and assisted/passive exercises are tailored to meet each patient’s needs. The therapy is complemented by physiotherapeutic massages and acupuncture, contributing to a comprehensive and holistic approach.
Spider therapy, used in both physical and occupational therapy, is suitable for training with patients from about 2 years of age until old age. These may range from patients with minimal functional problems to extremely severe conditions, unable to assume any position on their own.
The therapy involves placing the patient in a universal exercise unit with a belt or suit connected to elastic bungee cords. Sessions include muscle-strengthening exercises, promoting active movement in activities such as standing, sitting, balancing, jumping, walking, and maintaining proper posture. Spider therapy capitalizes on neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself, making it effective for individuals of all ages with several neurological conditions. Sessions are intensive, occurring multiple times a week, and early intervention enhances the capability for new motor learning. The engaging and challenging nature of spider therapy encourages repeated activities, fostering crucial brain adaptation.
Hydrotherapy: when immersed in water, hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy contribute to various physiological effects, enhancing cardiovascular efficiency, reducing blood pressure, and improving cerebral blood flow. These effects provide therapeutic benefits, including strengthened respiratory muscles, reduced inflammation, improved muscle perfusion, and joint offloading. Beyond the physical benefits, patients often experience an enhanced sense of well-being, reduced pain, and improved independence in activities they may find challenging on land. Aquatic physiotherapy maximizes the potential for comprehensive rehabilitation, aligning with the diverse needs and goals of patients.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment involving breathing pure oxygen under increased pressure in a special chamber. Scientifically proven to induce positive physical, biochemical, and physiological changes, this therapy allows oxygen to reach areas with poor blood supply, promoting healing in conditions like serious injuries, transplants, burns, infections, and challenging wounds. The painless sessions, lasting a few minutes, bring relaxation and detoxification, reducing toxins and stimulating faster regeneration. The therapy, effective against lifestyle diseases and addictions, naturally supports health and beauty.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy aids rehabilitation in conditions such as Alzheimer’s, strokes, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury. It particularly benefits cerebral palsy, reviving dormant neurons and improving movement and speech development by activating the nervous system. The therapy is a valuable ally in achieving significant improvements in mental and physical well-being.
The objective of an occupational therapist is to empower patients to effectively manage their daily tasks, fostering physical, social, and emotional well-being. Working closely with the patient, the occupational therapist strives to address dysfunction through various interventions. This may include modifying task performance methods, adapting the physical environment, teaching the patient new skills, or assisting in the restoration of previously acquired ones. The occupational therapist employs a diverse range of strategies to enhance the patient’s ability to navigate everyday activities and improve their overall quality of life.
This part may include the psychological support. Psychologists collaborate with both individuals and their families to help them manage the emotional challenges associated with neurological conditions, offering guidance on adjustment, communication skills, and building a positive mindset.
Damage to the nervous system can lead to neurological issues, impacting speech, language, and oral muscle functions. If needed, the patient will have a thorough diagnosis of any speech or language disorders, focusing on dysarthria and aphasia. Dysarthrias may affect the clarity of the speech due to motor issues, while aphasias can impact speech expression, understanding, reading, and writing. Speech therapy is beneficial for various disorders such as strokes, multiple sclerosis, or ALS, which can affect voice box muscles, swallowing, and communication
Cognitive deficits are also considered. Our therapist offers tailored therapy for both speech disorders and cognitive deficits, using various techniques and computer programs designed to address cognitive challenges.
